Escalator Steps and Giant Leaps

I had dinner with a friend tonight and I was very much amused about my little discovery.

She has absolutely no problem packing her bags and moving to another country with no assurance of anything whatsoever (job, accommodation, what have we) , BUT she has some difficulty catching the first available step on an escalator.

Four escalators later, I concluded that she, on the average is only able to ride the third available slot.

And for what it's worth, I think that maybe she could manage the second, on a good day.
